Ageing is an important process but it’s also very annoying. A group of like-minded women artists in the Forest agree and together we have been exploring how best to embody the trouble with our bodies. 

In the first workshop we had an open discussion about fluids and how our bodies have given us and taken away from us. The ageing process has to be embraced although being in denial is an attrractive counter. We progressed on from this workshop with several others exploring skin, body, visibility and transformation through painting, drawing, sculpture, jewellery-making and more. 

The intention is to exhibit small works from each of the artists in the spudWORKS Gallery ain April and in Venice in September.
